Flowering Crabapple

1. Flowering Crabapple
2. Malus hybrids
3.The Flowering Crabapple is disease resistance but are slightly susceptible to scab, powdery mildew and sometimes fireblight.
4. Habitat- Birds nest on the Branches. Food- birds are attracted to the fruits. Squirrel enjoy the crabapple and will clean it off the ground when it falls.
5. All the different Crabapples have different colors. Most of the Crab Apples come out in early April. All of the Crab Apples have fruit on their branches.
6. The Flowering Crabapple is used as street trees,
7. The twig is brown and thin, medium size.
8. Ohio, Texas, Oregon, Pennsylvanian and many other places.

Nylon

1. Nylon grows in North America, and Europe to Asia.
2. Nylon makes shirts, rope, tires and many other things.
3. People have to take all of the water that is in the nylon so they can make long and strong threads.

2. Salt water potatoe- Salt in the water absorbed the water out of the potato. The weight started at 5.3 pounds and went to .28 ounces.
Water potatoe- The water changed the color of the potato. The weight started at 6.4 pounds and went down to .17 ounces.
Dialysis tubing- The iodine went into the dialysis tubing and it changed color to a dark purple black. The weight stayed the same.

3. The salt water potato is the diffusion and the regular water is the osmosis.

DNA Replication


Step 1: DNA unwind.

Step 2: DNA breaks apart.

Step 3: Strand 1 gets a new strand 2 and strand 2 gets a new strand 1.

Step 4: The hydrogen bonds reform and DNA winds back up.

Telomeres
Telomeres are at the end of chromosomes and sometimes appear as stretch like marks. They keep the different ends of the chromosomes from getting attached to each other.

Okazaki Fragments
These are created on a lagging strand of DNA during replication and are normally really short.

DNA ligase
1- Links okazaki fragments during the process of replication.
2- Only found in non-dividing cells.
3- Used to help combine the fragments back together.
4- Repairs the final two strands in the final step.

Telomerase
Used to cause telomeres to lengthen and is mostly found under the germline and in mostly cancer cells.

Cancer
Most of the time cancer only appears from stomatic cells. Telemerase levels are very high in these cells and keeps their telomeres from shortening.

Transplanted Cells
First, cells are removed from a person or animal. They then look for what the cells are lacking and then replace the cells with new ones that will multiply and begin to heal the person/animal. The major problem with this is that the cells die after each use of this process.

Cloning
This is when you make and exact copy of a strand of DNA. You can clone just about any living thing on earth, but it is a very complicated process and seldom works. To do this the DNA is extracted then the strand is copied exactly by a scientist or machine.

Aging
In aging, the ends of the chromosomes become frayed. After a while, the strands become so frayed that they cannot replicate anymore and cell death occurs.
